1982 Toyota Corolla KE70  

magna_TE

Had to many photos for one post, so here are the rest.














And that is where she is atm. Still needs clear coat and a polish. Was my first time spraying a car, so its not perfect but its good enough for me =)
Next on the list for her is;
clear coat and polish
Tidy the interior (clean everything and maybe new carpet)
Fender mirrors
maybe some short stroke shocks if i get sick of driving it the way it is.
Then that'll be it for a while, while i finish my xc.
CC welcome =)

Question for you boosters, black window surrounds or not? had them on it before it was painted, and most ppl do it the their Ke's but i dunno, i like the whole one colour look as well...

At first I was thinking "OMFG did you fucken paint it on the street?!" but then kept scrolling down and it's not actually bad man. Nice work. Much better than what I could do.

magna_TE

I done some of the prep work down there, like rust repairs and shit, because my datto was in the garage at that time, but once it was out of the way the ke went straight into its spot haha.
And thanks =) good to be getting some much positive feed back on it!

I'd retain the period look as much as possible, so go with black window surrounds.

onehope

its part of the paint job the car had to go with the strips.if it had a plain paint job it would not of had the black around the windows. i would got with out it. looks realy good carnt wait to see more.

magna_TE

Most ppl put the black surrounds, even without the stripes, i think ill wait until i unmask the whole car and see how it looks then decide.

James Dean

Falcon on the roundabout.

slokey

The deltas look alright.

magna_TE

That falcon may or may not be my current daily... haha

nferno

I would wish cancer upon you if i lived next to you and you parked your falcon there.

butler88

well done mate looks really good, hope u post up pictures of the xc when u start that

Bug Boy

fucking LOL! I didn't even notice that!

magna_TE

Was only a once off while i had the ke in its spot. Altho it is a common parking spot in my street, most ppl around me a young ppl with 3-4 ppl living in each house each with a car, so as you could guess street gets pretty full, and the roundabout seem alot better then parking a mile away haha

socal

YrocLeumas

What he said.

This is really cool, all done yourself and done so tastefully.

Props, kudos and the other stuff, looks like it will be a pleasure to see on the road.

BOZZO

i see it often but why didn't you put clear straight after paint? stupid if you ask me as you gotta take it and prep it again.
